I've never tried anything else other than root personally to be honest, but I would say yes.

This is because the domain being mapped has its A record pointing to the Multisites IP. If its not in the root folder then WordPress won't catch that domain and thus will not map it. WordPress and this plugin wouldn't even know that the domain is pointing to the IP because the install is in a sub folder.

Hey I was trying to do this here...(except with WildCard subdomains Multisite)

I can use my hosting (Godaddy) (ugh!) to add subdomains and point them to the directory, however when trying to add a wildcard subdomain setup to a directory other than root, the addon/subdomain method (and yours mentioned above) doesn't work for wildcards, as I would have to manually add them per site.

(if you found a way to get the wildcards to work please let me know)

I would say some .htaccess trickery would be the only way to handle this...

I did find the following information for directing the main domain (in this case)
to a subdirectory. If anyone knows how to modify it for multiple domains with wildcard ability I will give you a million dollars!
